Hi.
I finally have my "replacement engine" back and am trying to remove my old
lump. I have never taken engine/gearbox out as a unit, only the engine.
Following "Bentley" I decided this time the overall untit would be the way to
go...I have hit a snag that has insufficient info in the manual and so I need
the benefit of "experience"....the cross member under the gearbox. It says to
remove the 4 bolt-two at each end-(done)- and then: Remove the two bolts
securing the bottom tie bracket to the croww member. Now I have two bolts
that I have removed that go up through the cross member into what I would
describe as the "mount" which I believe is rubber and is between the gear box
and cross member. I was hesitent but cold not see any other bolts. Having
undone these it feels as though there is robber mount that is wedged into the
inside of that cross member and does not want to separate form it...I did not
want to force it incase it is attached and should not be disturbed...or is it
just wedged into the inside of croww member so I should pry them apart...don't
want to proceed further until I know!...So far I have to say its not easier
although it will be easier to connect the engine to the gearbox which is why I
chose to do it this way.
Any help I appreciate, thanks in advance,
Malcolm
